MISS CAROLINE LUTZ 10 IRAVEL ABROAD
Will Travel in Foreign Countries
—to See Oberammergau
Passion Play
Alillikin is to be well represent¬ ed abroad this summer. Miss Uar- olnie Lutz, for two years associate prolessor of Englisli at Millikin, has announced her intention ol spending the summer m a toreign tour.
The trip, Miss Lutz says, will be in the nature ot a "survey, ' m- ciudnig a number of European countries but with interest pri¬ marily centered in the literary points of England and Scotland, m connection with the new novel course which is being oltered at Alillikin next year. :r5he will be accompanied by her mother, wlio has been an art student at the Mu¬ seum of Fine Arts at Boston, and who will be especially interested m the art galleries ol Europe. The plans for the trip include about a week to be spent in each of Rome, i'aris and London, with a full day upon the i>v.hine.
Aiiss Lutz and her mother ex¬ pect to sail on the S. S. xMontreal on the 22nd of June with a partv from Iowa. They sail from Mon¬ treal to the Straits of Gibralter, giving them a peep at Spain, then on to Italy, taking the Aiediter- ranean trip and landing in the Bay of Naples. The art galleries of Rome will attract them hrst and from this southern point they will work on up through Switzer¬ land, Germany, l>elgium and i'^rance," stopi)ing to see the Obe¬ rammergau Passion i'lay. Paris affords more art galleries, and a somewhat longer time will be spent there, and then the party will proceed t(j luigland for a more (n- less detailed study of lit¬ erary and historical points.
Aluch time is to be spent in the Lake District, Westminster Ab¬ bey, London and the Avon, and in seeking the homes of Thack¬ eray, Dickens, Burns and Scott, and all places sacred to the tradi¬ tions of literature. Miss Lutz ex¬ pects to immerse herself as far as time permits, in the atmos¬ phere and spirit of these literary shrines and return with much new material for her English courses, and particularly for the Novel course of next year. Scotland and England are to be the final coun¬ tries visited and the ])arty will re¬ turn from Liverpool, to Montreal late in the summer.
Dr. and Airs. Louis E. Holden entertained the Senior class at the ])resident's annual reception for Seniors on Tuesday. . During the evening the company played charades, and at ten o'clock ice cream, cake, candies and nuts and fruit punch were served, i'e- fore the gue.sts left a few Alillikin songs were sung.
